Introduction to Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a free tool that helps you manage and deploy marketing tags (such as analytics and tracking codes) on your website without needing to modify the code directly. It enables marketers and developers to update measurement codes and track key performance metrics in real-time, simplifying website management. By using GTM, you can add and update various tags from services like Google Ads, Google Analytics, and more, without the hassle of changing the website code every time you need an update. This extension automates the process, ensuring your store is GTM-ready with minimal effort.
